Rapid Vienna v West Ham betting tips: Hammers can nail top spot

Rapid are bottom of the group with just one win which was a 2-1 victory at home to Dinamo Zagreb but a 3-1 defeat in the reverse fixture has left them with an uphill battle to stay in Europe.

They are having a disappointing season in Austria too, where they are sixth in a 12-team division, so odds of 9/2 for a home win are understandable while the draw is 3/1.

Rapid Vienna v West Ham head-to-head

September’s meeting between these teams was West Ham’s first home Europa League group-stage match and they marked the occasion with a 2-0 win.

Declan Rice struck in the first half to make it two goals in two continental outings for him and Said Benrahma scored in stoppage time to wrap up the victory.

Rice almost opened the scoring after eight minutes when a glancing header from Aaron Cresswell’s free-kick came off the base of the far post and 15 minutes later the dominant Hammers were denied by the other post following Craig Dawson’s thumping header from a Cresswell corner.

Another 2-0 win for the Hammers can be backed at 15/2 in Rapid Vienna v West Ham betting tips.

Rapid Vienna v West Ham key battles

Benrahma was West Ham’s main attacking threat against Genk earlier this month when his second-half brace helped secure a point.

Having also scored in the home game against Rapid, he looks a decent option at 13/2 to score first and he is 16/1 for another double.

West Ham’s defence has been weakened by the loss of Angelo Ogbonna to injury and both teams to score is priced at 4/6.
